Generally personal loans are good to have when one need emergency cash and there is no arrangement for the same. Although it is always advised to save money from your earning to build an emergency cash to handle situation like this.

But as you don’t have enough cash now, you have to go for a personal loan. But if you have a fixed deposit account with State bank and that is having enough money, you can go for a loan against your FD account.

What is SBI Loan against Fixed Deposit / Term Deposit

This is nothing but a way to get a personal loan only, but there are couple of benefits or advantages. Here are the key highlights of SBI Loan against Fixed Deposit.
